7 Tips for Naming Your Dog, Including Hot New Pet Names!
Naming your dog is an important step in welcoming him to your home. Make sure you select a name that fits the dog's personality, look, and temperament. That can be hard to do when you are naming a new pet, since you may not know their personality at first.
Don't feel pressured to name your dog or puppy on the first day. Take a few days to get to know your pet. Once you choose a name, it's best to stick with it, to avoid confusing the dog. So, take time to make sure you've
chosen a name that fits.
Naming a dog is fun. It's a good idea to involve the whole family. You'll have to choose a name upon which everyone can agree. The best way to do that is to sit down together to brainstorm names. You'll go through a lot of "no's," but ultimately, someone will suggest a name that sticks.
Below are seven tips for selecting a dog's name. There are even some names to get you started. Choose one of these, or create your own. What matters is that you and your new pet like the name.
Name the dog based on physical characteristics.
This is an easy way to name your dog. Gigantic fur balls lend themselves to names like Harry, Shaggy, Fuzzy, Wooly, and Grizzly. While small, soft furry animals are suited to names like Velvet, Curls, Curley, and Brooke.
Small, delicate dogs can be named after flowers: Rose, Hyacinth, Lily, Mumsy, Sweet Pea, or Tulip. Gemstones, like Jade, Ruby, Crystal, Jasper, Pearl, Jasper, and Opal make good names for small dogs.
Large male dogs need large names like Hulk, Ulysses, Mufasa, Hercules, Burl, Shrek, Colonel, Garth, Rocky, Hannibal, and Maximus. Consider Tess, Latifah, Xena, Raven, or Medea. These names don't make fun of strong or plus-sized women, but honor them by using their name for your large puppy love.
If you have an ugly dog try out Quasimodo, Frankenstein, Ursula, Jugs, or Medusa.
Give your dog a name that is descriptive of their personality.
Cute, cuddly female dogs are easy to name. Angel, Celeste, and Joy invoke the feeling of joy and goodness a dog brings to your home. Muffin, Chablis, Sable, Pinky and Pumpkin are adorable names for an armful of love.
